Now it’s my turn to apologize for slow response. Thanks for your reply, Damien. I’ll be away for weekend, so next week will send screenshots or let you log into my test site when you are available.

Thanks for your efforts!

Wonderful plugin and so very handy.
Was wondering if there’s a solution for those that have themes with idtabs in sidebar.php. Via the widget menu all widget are placed below the idtabs. Recent posts are included in these idtabs, so your plugin just wont work unless I call it in the sidebar.php file.

Not sure how to do that – although I’ve tried several – trial and error codes – all wrong. But would be grateful to hear from you on this point.
Thanks so much

I apologize for not replying to the comment. I have been busy with my projects for the past few weeks and have not able to squeeze out time for the development of this plugin.

@chris: this plugin was not tested on a sub-domain, but it should work in a subdirectory. I would appreciate you contact me directly via the contact form and attach some screenshots for debugging.

@Rachelle: the tag feature is not possible yet.

Great plugin and very useful for content focused side data. Is there a tag I can use to put it in a NON-widget sidebar.

TIA

Hi, Damien. First I want to say congrats and thank you for such a great plugin. Hopefully an example of the future of WordPress.

Now, I unfortunately have to say that I cannot get it to work on all sites. The custom doesn’t show on the Page or post editor (yes, it’s set for Pages and posts).

I tried a lot of variations when I couldn’t get it to work because I really want to use and recommend it. I’m using release 1.2.4 on wp 2.5.1. The only time I can get it to work is on a top level domain on its own server or in a reseller account. I canNOT get it to work if wp is installed on an addon domain or subdomain or in a subdirectory.

Did your testing include any of these? Is there any other info I can provide that would help?

Chris

@Mpaper: Thanks for the feedback. The problem is due to an oversight on my side. The bug is fixed now. You should be able to remove the ad from the category section.

@Tom: If you have opt to display the widget for specific category, there won’t be any input field in the post section. You can’t add widget to both the post and category at the same time as it will cause confusion.

Hey Damien, awesome widget…thank you. I was having the same problem with a widget not changing. I just found out that it has to be a new post for the new widget to show. Hope that helps.

Next is that I can only customize a widget category and not the post. I don’t see any options you mention like the input field.

I’m running both current WP and WC

Hello, I too join the chorus of GREAT plugin. However, I am having a very annoying little issue. Before this latest update, I had a ad in a category that I did not want there. I erased it, but it’s still on the page. Went back to options, it was still in the category. Erased it again, saved, still there. No matter how many times I erase it, it does not go away, it simply reemerges. Any word on how to stop this?

Thanks to Boruch Siper, I have fixed the plugin. It should be working fine now. Get the latest version (1.2.3) here or upgrade automatically through your wordpress plugin page.

Damien, I created a picasa album with two screenshots, one is “write page and “write post” so you can see for your self.

@ H.Braune and Boruch Siper: this thing has really got me down. I have tested the plugins on several platforms and they all worked fine (ie it shows up on the ‘write page’ section). Would you like to help me debug by providing me with more information, such as the plugins you used, the settings, screenshots etc)?

Is there anyone else having this problem of the input field not showing up on the ‘write page’ section?

I’m having the same problem as H.Braune. It only appears in “write post” and not in “write page”

Hi,

I have checked my upgrade from wp 2.5 to 2.5.1, and – for a test -I have made a new wp-installation with wp 2.5.1. Sorry, but wc didn’t work as it should work: the wc input-field appears only in the write- and manage-section for posts ( the field doesnot collapse, but this not so important), the wc input-field doesnot appear in the write- and manage-section for pages.

By: Damien

Damien — Thu, 01 May 2008 13:42:17 +0000

@H.Braune: I have checked the code and it is fully compatible with 2.5.1. Can you check your upgrade procedure again?

Hi,
I have upgraded WP 2.5 to 2.5.1. Now, WC’s input-field doesnot appear in the write section. Is there any idea how to solve this problem ?
